That is just beautiful! You should post that picture on helpmefind roses so people can see the full potential of this rose, even in cold zones! What are you using to secure this rose to the wall? I don't see an obvious trellis, and with brick there are different options than with wood siding.

There are a few wood trellises but they don't do much with respect to support any more. In fact a few years ago, while it was in full bloom we experienced a heavy rainstorm and under all that weight of flower and water this climber fell off the wall! I was mortified.

So that fall I secured to the brick a few lengths of wire running horizontally.

If I didn't trim the top a few times during the growing season it would reach the roof!
